Some sandwiches are just better toasted, and the Breville 2-in-1 panini press allows that all sandwiches might be. With its flat cooking plates and adjustable depth, the press does everything from reheating grilled cheese to creating café-quality focaccia sandwiches. A floating top plate and six depth settings let you tailor use to your preference, recipe, or ingredients, and create consistent results whether sandwiches are wafer-thin or packed full. A 1500-watt appliance, the press has a sturdy structure with high-powered wiring concealed in the heavy metal arms to keep operation safe. Warm up and ready lights make the cooking process more efficient, and the Quasar Rockcote nonstick plates wipe down well while letting you cook with little or no fat. Helpful details range from the hidden cord wrap to the non-skid feet, and the whole unit can be stored flat or on its side in tighter spaces. As with other Breville devices, the power cord has an unusual and helpful plug design with an easy-grab fingerhole. Sized for two full-scale sandwiches at a time, the press is suitable for sliced or bakery bread and comes in handy from breakfast on through to late-night snacking. It also looks good on your countertop in a matte black and gleaming chrome finish. --Emily Bedard

Good, Easy to Clean June 6, 2006

I bought this panini press from Amazon. The first one came, but the handle quickly broke from having it close quickly (i dropped the top part down on the bottom). I sent it back to Amazon and they sent out a new one. We really like it. It heats up quickly and works real well. We usually do things like quesadillas or sandwiches on it. Cleaning is simple...just wipe it down. The only downside is that is gets real hot, so you have to be careful to not touch any of the metal.

I was excited to purchase the Breville because of the fairly decent reviews, ease of cleaning & storage, and value. However, after using it for the FIRST TIME, I was reminded that if you buy the cheapest that's probably what you'll end up getting. Mine simply stayed on pre-heat for more than a half an hour, then did it again even after I let it cool and gave it a second chance. Half-starving by this time, I decided I'd make a go at trying to toast a sandwich anyway which it promptly toasted to brick-like hardness after only 4 minutes. Then you call the toll free number for assistance only to get an unintelligible voice on an answering machine that I think said to leave a message but I can't be sure. I'm sending it back (thank goodness for Amazon's Customer Service!). Do yourself a favor and spend another $20 to get a brand you've actually heard of........
Note! This grill does not have a ribbed surface! October 23, 2004

I was totally excited about purchasing this grill for my husband for Christmas. He has wanted one for a long time. After reading the reviews and product description, I knew this was the best at this price. However, I totally overlooked the fact that the grill surface is flat. The picture on this page shows the closed grill, and I just missed that detail in the description. As soon as I opened it from the Amazon box, I knew this would not work. I had to return it for the Hamilton-Beach version that has ribbed plates...a feature that my husband specifically asked for.
 LOVE THE PRODUCT, HATE THE PACKAGING August 13, 2004

I must say, even though I expected it I was quit disappointed in the packaging. I just received this item a couple of days ago. It looked like they took the box off the shelf and threw it in the mail. No shipping packaging what-so-ever. As far as the product is concerned, it arrived without damage. I must say I love this item. I am big lover of sandwiches and this machine makes the best panini. I have a feeling that this may become my number one appliance.

I was uneasy ordering this item from Amazon because of problems people had had with Amazon's packaging, but mine arrived in perfect shape, the Breville box securely inside an Amazon box. Haven't used the press itself but I just wanted to say that they're doing a better job now, with their packaging. No problems.
